Anyone keen on going for a little cruise in the next month or two? Just on a Saturday or Sunday morning that suits people.

Ideas for destinations, roads & meeting places welcome.

I think the last Melbourne forum 'cruise' we had was about 2 years ago? Maybe longer? lol. It was to Cardinia Reservoir IIRC, and that wasn't a half bad location to finish up.

Good idea Heath,

My car is awaiting an engine transplant, but we can always bring WILDUC out for a cruise!

It'd be good to have a catch-up!

[mr5000]

once torry is on the road yeah will be there for sure

[hawk]

i would be up for it depending on my parents and work tho

[lcgtr1970]

i think you all should come for a cruise up to wagga! coz im a nice bloke, ill put on the snags!...its only roughly a short 4 n a half hours detour from where you actually may be cruising to though...

[MRLXSS]

Even as small catch-up cruise. As heath suggests... Maybe a catch-up for a counter meal and a small cruise?

[Heath]

I reckon just do a shortish one - if you go out too far East like Warburton then it will discourage people from the north or the S.E. etc (remember they need to drive home too), if everyone has fun we'll organize another one soon.

Get like 5-10 cars there and talk a bit of shit, get some photos, we could have a counter meal as Matt suggested, but I reckon it's a bit more fun with a BBQ at someone's house or at a public park etc.

The VTC cruise is coming up in a few months as well (and that will be very big), but doing something in the meantime would be good.

there is a park in olinda just behind the pools i think that has some really good views only trouble is its probably 500 meteters down a dirt road

[MRLXSS]

LOL, We use to go rally driving down there... HAHA

[mr5000]

haha yeah ino you told me after i told you i use to go there you went in some ones lancer i used to do it in a rolla

what about to emerald lake park from say knox or around that area

[LhMusL]

I would be keen

[MRLXSS]

Not a bad Idea Steve, Emerald Lake Park though you have to pay to enter though I think.

What other Parks are up this way with BBQ's?

Few I know of that i have been to and are good and No Dirt roads.

Belgrave Lake Park (Where I use to get a lot of my old photos)
Warburton
The Park at the bottom of the Mt D Tourist Road, near the 1000 steps
Lilydale Lake Park?

Is there anything up in Kalorama or anything up the mountain? (Not on Dirt Roads)

[hawk]

lilydale lake sounds good or maybe the park on dorset rd in fern tree gully

[Heath]

Well there is that lookout carpark where the old coach road & old mountain road all come together at Kalorama

but in this weather it's probably better to be somewhere else, there are probably fast, bitterly cold winds there non-stop haha

That Belgrave Lake carpark might be good? But where do we want to meet up & cruise? Perhaps somewhere around Mitcham? Cruise out and head over Mt Dandy then come down into Belgrave? Let me know

[hawk]

belgrave lake sounds good and as i said before maybe start near knox

brad if theres a spare seat in my uc you could come with me
